DID YOU KNOW THAT YOUR CREDIT CARD CAN HELP YOU SAVE MONEY? THEY CAN BE MORE HELPFUL THAN EVER IN TODAY'S UNCERTAIN ECONOMY. ALMOST EVERYONE HAS A CARD WITH REWARDS--AND IF YOU USE YOUR REWARDS WISELY, THEY CAN HELP YOU SAVE. ACCORDING TO AMERICAN EXPRESS, USING A CHARGE OR CREDIT CARD CAN EARN YOU GREAT REWARDS TO OFFSET YOUR EVERYDAY EXPENSES. NOW, MORE THAN EVER, CONSUMERS CAN BENEFIT FROM UNDERSTANDING HOW REWARDS AND POINTS CAN HELP STRETCH THEIR BUDGET. UNLIKE CASH, CHECKS, OR DEBIT CARDS, CREDIT CARDS CAN EARN YOU CASH-BACK ON YOUR PURCHASES--OR REWARD YOU WITH POINTS FOR PURCHASES. EVEN WHEN TIMES ARE TIGHT, YOU CAN USE POINTS FOR TRAVEL, CLOTHES, GIFTS, AND EVEN HOME-IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS LIKE RENOVATING YOUR KITCHEN. REWARDS CAN SUPPLEMENT YOUR EVERYDAY BUDGET--SO THAT YOU CAN TRULY PUT YOUR CARD TO WORK FOR YOU. IN ADDITION TO POINTS AND CASH-BACK, SOME CARDS ALSO GIVE RETURN PROTECTION FOR THOSE NOT-SO-PERFECT-BUYS--WHILE OTHERS EVEN EXTEND WARRANTIES ON PRODUCTS. TO LEARN MORE ABOUT MAKING YOUR MONEY GO EVEN FURTHER, LOOK INTO YOUR REWARDS PROGRAM--OR LOG ON TO "AMERICAN-EXPRESS"-DOT-COM, TO LEARN ABOUT THEIRS.
